Working together for the first time since 1988, the Pet Shop Boys and producer Trevor Horn partner together for Fundamental, an extremely well-crafted effort that is more of its time message-wise than any previous Pet Shop Boys album. Heavily influenced by Tony Blair's allegiance to George W Bush and his decision to go to war in Iraq, this is their 16th album, and this matching songbook is arranged for piano, voice and guitar. It includes the top 20 singles I'm With Stupid and Minimal.
